Such censorship is likely to have the opposite effect. Ukraine, like most other post-Soviet countries, has long developed a downloading culture, so I guess even more people there will watch the film now simply by getting it from the internet and through pirate copies at the local market :)

I agree with andrejs – If you want to see how banning gay themed movies pans out, watch the Father Ted Episode “The Passion of St. Tibulous” in which Ted is instructed by Bishop Brennan to boycott a minor arthouse flick containing a fictionalised account of a Saint with plenty of homoerotic imagery thrown in for good measure, in the Derek Jarman mould.
Ted’s boycott only serves to turn a previously unknown unwatched arthouse movie into the highest grossing film in Ireland due to the resulting publicity under the slogan “The film they tried to ban”!

@ Andy – But its nice to be allowed the choice of whether or not to see it for themselves, so they have the choice to decide if it is funny or garbage yes? By banning it they are removing that choice.

On a wider note, art is subjective, whether it be visual art, music, film etc. I have quite a serious problem with the banning of art, it sets a dangerous precedent of censorship. Although, that’s a whole other debate.
